Report Details
A cold partly cloudy day. The tide was already high enough that reaching "Keyhole" at north cliff of Yaquina wasn't possible.The beach only had 2 persons, but I got several pictures of partial rainbows.With chicks fledged, total bird count 50-75.The sand was clear of microplastics, although several larger Styrofoam pieces were pesent.
Conditions
Temperature: 42 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 5.0 feet.
Human Activities
Number of people: 2. Number of dogs: 2. Walking or running: 2.
Vehicles
Cars/trucks parking: 3.
Driftline Content
Seaweeds and seagrass.
Natural Changes
Visible retreat of solid bluff. Some slides made more pipes visible while other slides hid previously seen pipes. I am no longer going down from Meander and NW 57th but driving to NW 68th parking lot, as rainy season creates a faster erosion of path.
